SHORT BUT TELLING SPEECHES MADE AT CANTON, The United States, Says the Standard- Bearer, Wiil Not Change Its Sound Financial Po icy. CANTON, Omro, Aug. 28.—Major Me- Kinley made two speeches to-day, and they were both short. His first visitors were a committee representing the exec- utive committee of the National Repub- lican Leazue. They came fresh from the enthusiastic meeting at Milwaukee. The members of the sub-committee and their residences follow: Colonel George Stone, California; B. G. Dawes, Nebraska; John Goodnoe, Minnesota; Q. 8. Glick, Wis- consin; T. L. Edinborough, Michigan; Luke F. Walker, Wisconsin; T. T. Meier, New Jersey; W. F. Poucher, New Jersey; George W. Rueh, Pennsylvania; Frank J. Higgins, New Jersey; L. J. Dowling, Mis- souri; Congressman Howell, New Jersey; Congressman McEwans, New Jersey; T. F. Barrett, West Virginia. B. L. McElroy of Mount Vernon and Charles Leach, president of the Ohio State Republican League were also with the committee. The committee gathered in Major Me- Kinley’s Iibrary, and after they had been presented to him John Goodnoe of Minnesota, the spokesman, assured Mr. McKinley of the loyalty and support of the league’s members, num- bering over 2,000,000 voters. It had been the method of the league clubs the speaker said, to present Republican doctrines to young men about to cast their first vote and to new voters at the time when they have leisure to study dispas- sionately. It has ever been only for the success of the party and its principles and has never attempted to interfere with nominations and appointments. “In that sense,”” he continued, “we are not ‘practical politicians.” The league is formed on the fact that it is the duty of every citizen to study public questions, and having so studied them it is his privi- lege to assure, in the most efféctive way at bis command, the practical success of the policies and principles he deems best for the good of the whole country. Our motto is,‘Educate and organize.’ It has been the method of the clubs to study and dis- cuss public questions between campaigns, to present Republican doctrines to young men apout to cast their first vote and to new voters at the time when they have leisure to study dispassionately.” In response Major McKinley made one of the most impressive little speeches to which he has given utterance this cam- paign. He said: Mr. Goo oeand Gentlemen:Itgises megreat eetat my home thislarge com- ating the Republican clubs of the United States. I know something of your worth and work. Iknow how in former cam- paigns the splendid services of the young Re- v have contributed to iumphs. 1 am glad to hear your spokesman, fresh from your National convention, that the- Republican party and the Republican cause this year are to have your united, aggressive and unfalter- ing support, and I am sure with that support, connected with the support which will come from all classes of your fellow-citizens every- where, will give to the National ticket and to our party a triumph the like of which we never have had for many, many years, [Ap- plause.] Gentlemen, you never had a worthier cause to strive for than you have this year. The financial honor of the country and the pros- perity of all its people are enough to inspire every American heart to the best possible effort. [Appiause.] Ihave seensomewherean inguiry: “Cannot the United States establish a finaneial system of its own; is it too weak and der~ndent to do that?” I answer: “The United b.ates now has a financial policy which in the mAin it has been pursuing since the be- ginning of the Government, and which it does not mean to change until it can find a better one. Those who make the inquiry are usuaily st our American policy of finance, and they are insisting that we shall adopt the financial policy of China and Mexico. I hope it will not be thought an evidence of lack of National spirit or National independence that we decline to adopt their proposition. [Ap- plause.] Ithank you for this call and for the message of goodwill and greeting which you bring to me from your great National body. {Applause.] At4 o'clock a Jarge delegation of United Brethren clergymen who are attendinga conference here called on Major McKinley. Bishop J. H. Mills of Oregon spoke in be- half of the ministers and Major McKinley in response said: Bishop Mills, ladies ana gentlemen of the East Ohio Conference of the United Brethren church: It gives me sincere pleasure to re- spond to this call of greeting ana congratnla- tion. Iduly jappreciate the message of good- will which you so kindly bring from the re- ligious body which you represent. It is a good omen when religious teachers are alive to the questions affecting the public welfare. Noth- ing is more worthy of your study and consd- eration than those questions which tend to make the country great, prosperous and right- eous. Civi¢c virtue is & good thing for the preacher always, but a better thing for every citizen 1o guard in his daily life. Good eiti- zenship les at the foundation of our true greetness as a free government. Those who proclaim it are indeed Christian teachers and public benefactors. The better the citizen the better a free gov- ernment and its Jaws. Itisa gratifying fact, s you stated, that in our form of government character counts for so much. The lack of it amounts to almost disqualification for public trust. Whatever men’s individual opinions on moral questions are or may be, what good or bad, whatever may be their party affiliations, all prefer that public officials rhall be of high character and worth. They may be heedless of virture and careless of their own lives, but they insist that those who are to execute the public will shall be men of unquestioned 1n- JOSEPH SPEAR JB. = IT PROVED A BOOMERANG. Break of the Montana Boycott Against McERinley Republicans. CHICAGO, Iri., Aug. 28.—Ex-Senator W. F. Sanders of Montana, who is in charge of the distribution of Republican literature in that State for the National Committee, in a letter received to-day by Chief Perry Heath, states that the Repub- licans will hold a State convention Sep- tember 9 and organize a State Committee beyond doubt for ‘‘sound money, protec- tion, McKinley and Hobart.” The ex-Senator adds: *“Upon the whole the outlook in Montana is encouraging. The struggle for the next two weeks will be for control of the State convention. There is a law governing primaries, which if enforced will enable the true Republi- cans to control the convention. Confiden- tisl friends of Senator Carter assert that he will make a speech September 9 declar- ing his support of McKinley. The boycot of McKinley Republicans into which Democrats and Populists entered a month ago has been broken down and proved a boomerang.” 5 Governor Hastings has been assigned to speak in Detroit September 3 and Senator Thurston in Elgin, Ill., September 16. s By it GOING BY THE THOUSANDS. Commercial Travelers Will Call Upon Major McKinley. CHICAGO, Irn.,, Aug. 28—A special train of seven Pullman sleepers left Chicago to-night over the Pennsylvania for Canton bearing not quite 300 commer- cial travelers and their wives and a few other Republicans who joined for the oc- casion. The trip tosee and hear Major McKinley is under the direction of the National committee of the Commercial Travelers’ McKinley Club. Most of the party was composed of members of Com- mercial McKinley Club 1 of Chicago. George J. Corey, the president, will make the speech of presentation. Similar dele- gations are expected to come from Cleve- land, Detroit, Cincinnati, Indianapolis and Grand Rapids and meet in Canton to- morrow so as to form a combined parade and visit to the major 2000 strong. UNCLE SAW'S GUEST, [Continued from First Page.] pany of the naval reserves formed a cor- don. Here eight carriages were in waiting for the foreigners. There was a delay of half an hour in getting away. In the meantime an immense crowd had gath- ered outside the American line dock at the foot of Fulton street. A large force of police was on hand and they had all they could do to festrain the throng. A detachment of the Sixth Cavalry, U.S. A, was in waiting to escort the envoy and his suite to the Hotel Waldorf. A start was madeat 2 P. M. About 100 leading Chinese merchants were in attendance. Their faces, usually expressionless, fairly beamed with joy at the prospect of welcoming their great countryman. In the first carriage was Li Hung Chang, his secretary and interpreter, General Ruger and Mr. Rockhill, Assistant Secretary of State. The rest of the suite followed in other carriages. As soon as Li's carriage came off the pier into West street half the cavalry detachment fell in and preceded the procession. The other half joined in behind the last carriage, and in this order the march to the Waldorf Hotel was begun. All along the route the 1#rge crowds had gathered. The name of Li Hung Chang was upon every one’s lips, and he received a great ovation, probably the like of which was never tendered a foreigner in this country. - The streets were jammed all the way with a cheering multitude. The procession up Broadway from the Battery to the Waldorf was uninterrupted by an unusual incident until Nineteenth street and Fifth avenue was reached. There a little ragamuffin threw a dried lemon peel at the Embassador’s carriage. It made a curve in the air and General Ruger and Li had to dodge so as not to be hit by it. There was an immense croxd at Thirty-third street and Fifth avenue, but Li entered the hotel quietly. The cavalry lined up on the south side of Thirty-third street, saluting him as he passed in. As Li Hung Chang was about to enter the Waldorf he saw standing on the st ep the Hon. John W. Foster, ex-Secretary of State. They shook hands cordially. Mr. Foster, it will pe remembered. acted as adviser to the famous statesman during the negotiations for peace betweer China and Japan in the late war. The Viceroy did not register. Accom- panied by Mr. Foster, Mr. Rockhill, As- sistant Secretary éf State, and General Ruger, he ascended to his apartments, which embrace the entire first floor. The sleeping apartments are on the corner of Fifth avenue and T'hirty-third street. The distinguished Chinaman was left alone for a few minutes: At 4 o’clock he gave audience in the hall to the 100 or more silken robed Chinese merchants of New York.

RICARDO A SURPRISE. Howard and Reddington Beaten in the Five Furlongs Dash. ' LOST GIRL DUMPS THE TALENT Handsome Little Grandezia Dowas the Two-Year-O ds—A Dog That Can Travel. WOODLAND, Car., Aug. 28.—The trot for the 2:24 class to-day was considered a gift to Laurel, and she was barred in the pool-selling. For second place the field sold for $10, Alias for $7 and Winchester for $5. The horses were sent away to an even start on the third attempt. Laurel at once assumed the lead and was never headed. The fight for second place was between Twilight and Auditor. Near the three-quarter pole Twilight broke and lost all chance for the place. Laurel was not even crowded, and passed under the wire in 2:1614. Letter B and Lena Hawley were distanced. The fight for place was again between Auditor and Twilight in the second. As before, a disastrous break decided the re- sult. On the homestretch Auditor broke and fell back to seventh place, Twilight taking second place. In the third heat there was a fight between Winchester and Alias for second place, and the former won. Following the trotting race, the cele- brated trotting dog Blucher was brought on the track and speeded a quarter. He was paced by a running horse and made the quarter in one minute. The dog was hitched 1o a pneumatic sulky, and his driver weighed 100 pounds. His performance was considered little less than marvelous. The crowd made up a generous purse for the boy owner of the dog. The five furlong running race, in which there were five starters, proved to be a surprise to the talent and the short enders had an inning. In the pools Reddington sold favorite for $15 to Sea Spray $6 and the field $5. Leon L and Sea Spray were scratched. The horses were sent away without much difficulty and ran well bunched until the homestretch was reached. There Ricardo was letout a link aud challenged ti.e leaders. Iiwasa close finish, but Ricardo won from Howard by a half iength. The favorite was close u There was considerabie betting on the four and a half farlong dash for two-year-olds and Lost Girl was instailed as favorite at $10 to $5 for Seven Up and $5 for the field. The horses got away the first trial. Gran- dezia took a slight lead and was never headed. The others ran well bunched to head of the stretch. Lost Girl made ber run down the homestretch, but could not overhaul the leader. Grandezia won and the best the favorite could do was to get place. 2:24 trot, 3 In Laurel .. 111 Twilight 324 Winches 442 Auditor. 278 Alias 553 636 765 987 8dis. dls 132 Running, selling, five furiongs: purse $200.

Women Imperil Their Lives to Pre- vent the Destruction of a Bridge. SALEM, Or., Aug. 28.—L. 8. Winters of this city, his daughter, Miss Minnie, his three sons, May Stahley of Mehama and a Mr. Spalding, who have been camping in the uplands near Fish Lake for the past ten days, broke camp on Wednesday last and started for Salem. On reaching what is known as the Seven-mile Hill the forest was found to be a mass of roaring flames, thousands of acres in extent. The road running through the woods at this point was impassable. though some teams jast ahead of Mr. Winters succeeded in get- ting through the fire belt by dint of hard running, all the persons on the wagons being badly scorched about the hands and face and the horses burned so badly that some had to be killed. - Seven teams congregated on the hill where the Wimers party was halted and the men and women worked desperately and successfully to save a bridge ahead of them. Before finishing the fizht against the fire the women’s overdresses were burned off and they were almost dead from exhaustion. After this delay the whole party pro- ceeded over hot coals and cmbers and through dense and suffocating smoke to- ward their several destinations. ‘The ladies involved in the adventure were badly freightened during the conflict with the fiery element, but tkis wore off when they were once more started on the home- ward trip. The track of the fire trended north and east toward Clear Lake, and Mr. Winters says he never saw a forest fire of such in- tensity and rapidity of motion as this one. e gt RAGING NEAR OAK POINT.. Millions of Feet of Timber Destroyed by a Conflagration. ASTORIA, Or., Aug. 28.—One of the most extensive forest fires that ever raged in this State is dealing destruction near Oak Point, forty miles up the Columbia River. With a'wall of lames three miles wide it is sweeping ‘through one of the most valuable timber districts in Oregon. Several camps have been destroyed and many cattle bhave perished. So far no human lives have been lost, though many narrow escapes are reported. It is impos- sible to estimate the loss, as there is no resent prospect of the fire abating. Mil- ions of feet of timber have already been destroyed. Several hundred men have been tignting the fire all day without making any headway nst it. gcriabed 4 Lty Oroville Mine Casualty, OROVILLE, CAL., Aug. 28.—Harry Mc- Curry, a miner, was killed at the Banner mine this morning by a falling rock.

Shorb was held in the Superior Court on a charge of murdering Jeunnie R. Snyder, late of Seattle, Wash. Mrs. Snyder, who had deserted her hus- band and was living under an assumed name with a scapegoat named Relland, died several weeks ago in East Los Angeles as the resuit of a criminal operation. The jury holding the inquest atiributed the death to Dr. Shorb, who had been called in by Relland, who, soon after her death, committed suicide. Shorb’s preliminary examination had been coutinued three or four times. Senator White was his law- yer. The accused is an old and wealthy physician. Justice Owens’ decision hold- ing him for murder produced a sensation throughout the city. When the case was called there was much excitement in the courtroom. The commotion was so great that the court | was compelled to ask the bailiff to restore order. When quiet was restored Justice Owens announced that he had given the matter careful consideration and had perused the evidence thoroughly, and had concluded to deny the motion to discharge the defendant. The decision nad a very depressing effect on the defendant, as he was confident that the motion would be sustained. Senator White then held a pleader of the bandi hurried conversation with his client, after which he announced that the defense had no evidence to introduce at that time. Thereupon the court ordered that the de- fendant be held to answer to the Superior Court on the charge of murder, under bonds of $15,000. T BISHOP TAYLUR'S PROJECT, Los Angeles Business Men Working to Seeure a Utah Line. LOS ANGELES, CaL., Aug. 28.—Great interest is being taken in the proposition of Bishop Taylor of Utah looking toward the construction of a direct railway line from Cedar City, Utah, to Los Angeles. The Merchants’ and Manufacturers’ Asso- ciation has interested itself 1in this, project, and there is active skirmishing among the business men of the city with a view of encouraging Bishop Taylor. At an executive meeting of the directors of the association to-night a committee was appointed to confer with the Bishop, ee- cure his references and plans and investi- gate them thoroughly. The report of this committee will be the basis for future action. This is the second time Bishop Taylo: has interested himself in bekalf of this railroad enterprise. Three years ago a proposition to raise $1,000,000 to carry for- ward the work was under consideration, &nd it wasin a fair way toward accom- pliskment when the Union Pacific notitied the commercial bodies here that it woula build the road on a guarantee of half a million. This proposition was taken up, and Bishop Taylor went home. Having defeated the enterprise, the Union Pacific was never heard from again on the ques- tion. GLEN ELLEN ENCAMPMENT. Father 0'Ryan Welcomed to the City of Tents That Bears His - Name. GLEN ELLEN, Can, Aug. 28.—The morning and evening trains from San Francisco brought heavy re-inforcements to the camp of the League of the Cross Cadets, and also many visitors.

DEATH FROM A EKICK. Her Victim a Mrs. Rossi, Coms mitted Under Another Name. ATTENDANTS NOT AT FAULT. Had Taken Precautions to Prevent the Maniac From Doing Violence. STOCKTON, Car., Aug. 28.—Tied to & tree in the yard of the female department of the State Asylum, and with her hands encased in leather straps, Mrs. Katherine Casey injured Mrs. Maria Baci- galupi, another patient, so badly that she died this morning. Mrs. Casey, who was sent to the institu- tion from Alameda in October, 1894, was taken by the attendant out into the yard connected with the female department yesterday morning. She is constantly watched to see that she does herself no injury, though she has never been con- sidered violent. Her hands were encased in leather ‘‘muffs,’’ like wristlets, and these were strapped to a belt about her body. To make sure that she would not attempt to get away, Mrs. Coover, who had charge of the yard, took the addi- tional precaution to pass another strap around a tree in the yard and fasten it to the belt about Mrs. Casey’s waist. Think- ing that there was no possibility of her injuring herself or anybody eise, Mrs. Cooper turned her back for a moment to attend to some other patients, and at this time Mrs. Casey gave Mrs. Bacigalupi the fatal kick. Mrs. Bacigalupi thought she saw some- thing disarranged about the Casey woman’s clothing, and went up to her to fix it. As she did so, Mrs. Casey lifted her foot and kicked Mrs. Bacigalupi in the stomach. Tbe latter was immediately taken sick, and despite the efforts of the asylum physicians, died this forenoon at 10:45 o’clock. Soon after receiving the blow, the unfortunate woman had a num- ber of vomiting fits, and these continued at intervals until she died. The deceased has been known at the asylum, where she was committed on De- cember 27, 1889, as Maria Bacigalupi, having been committed under that name. Her son, who lives in San Francisco and visits her frequently, informed Dr. San- derson that her true name was Rossi. She was subject to “spells” of insanity, and had spent much of her life in the asylum here and that at Napa. ‘When these fits were not on she was very docile and sympathetic, and was in one of these moods when she went up to Mrs. Casey to rearrange the latter’s dress. She was committed to the asylum by Judge Ellsworth of Alameda County. NEW TO-DAY. Bedroom Suits! Imagine, if you can, 463 bedroom suits and the space they take!
